EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint Christopher, a legendary Christian saint known for his role in helping travelers cross rivers and ensuring safe journeys, is depicted in this exquisite 17th century drawing by Hermann Weyer. Dated around 1615-1620, this pen and black ink over chalk on laid paper drawing showcases Weyer's exceptional drafting skills. The monochrome image, with its striking contrasts of black and white, captures the essence of the saint as he carries a young child on his shoulders, steadily making his way through a river, holding a long staff for balance. The calm expression on Saint Christopher's face, combined with the serene landscape in the background, evokes a sense of tranquility and protection. This beautiful depiction of Saint Christopher is a testament to the rich cultural and religious heritage of the 17th century, and is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or Christianity. This drawing is currently on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and is a cherished addition to their extensive collection of historic prints and drawings.
